Question:
My Father was a Hamms Beer distributor from the late 1940s to the late 1950s. He received a Christmas present from Hamms that was a salad set with the Land of Sky Blue Waters scene painted on the pieces. I have the large bowl, 8 small salad bowls, a pitcher and the tall salt/pepper set. As these have always been stored all are in excellent condition. What would be the approximate value of this set? Thank you, Sandy Rowland

Provincialware Bean Pot
Question:
I will forward a photo if you are unable to answer my question without one. I have a double handle bean pot. Glazed on the inside and marked on the outside "RED WING PROVINCIAL WARE" AND THE NUMBER 29. I purchased this someforty-five years ago and have enjoyed using it in the kitchen to hold utensils. A friend asked me about the pot and suggested I get in touch with someone who may know about it. It seems to be much less fancy than the variou examples I have seen of Red Wing Pottery on your web site. Please accept my grateful Thanks in Advance! Virginia

Red Wing 5 Gallon & Western 6 Gallon
Question:
Good Day! My mother has a crock with a white finish. It has bails with black wooden handles.The information stenciled on it is: Redwing Potteries 5 (I assume meaning 5 gallon) [An image of a red wing] Patented Dec 21, 1915 (this appears up near the lip of the crock)
She also has another crock: The name Western Stoneware Co. is stencilled inside an image of a maple leaf. It has a 6 on it. It does not have bails or handles, but also has the standard white finish. Do you think either off these items has any particular value, or are they "common as dirt?" Thanks for the help. Linda Murken

Red Wing Gladiola Vase #416
Question:
I have a Red Wing vase, #416, medium pink with gray speckles. It is "fan-shaped", consisting of 5 tube-shaped forms. Inside, it is a gray color. It looks like perhaps it would be useful for larger flowers, such as gladiolas. Any idea of how old it is and its value? Sandra Haas

Utah Advertising Stoneware
Question:
I have several Red Wing made stoneware crocks and jugs with Utah advertising on them. I collect Utah advertising stoneware and Utah bottles, but my favorites are those screw top pieces with the Utah advertising.
I have three quart pieces with blue stencil from Bountiful, Sandy, and Kaysville Utah. They look great together. I also have a nice 12 gal. with the Bountiful advertising and a 1/2 gal. jug from the Louisville liquor Co. in Salt Lake. On the screw top pieces. I think my Kaysville and the Sandy are the only ones known with two of the quart Bountiful ones known and one whole and one glued together in the 1/2 gal. Bountiful. I know of one quart piece from Tremonton and a 1/2 gal. from Farmington. I would like to put them all together on my shelf. The 12 gal. Bountiful is the largest advertising crock known from Utah and was my wife’s grandmothers crock. The last one I bought, I am paying $2,500 for. Do you think that is about right for the piece. I know I would have to pay that much for the Farmington and possibly more for the Tremonton. Thank you David Emett
